Project Description

During our recently organised GemaQ summit for entrepreneurs in the petrol sector, we had the honour of welcoming Wiebe Wakker as our keynote speaker. And what a story he had to tell.

With his Plug Me In project, Wiebe drove (without any money in his pocket) in an electric car all the way from the Netherlands to Australia. His mission? To prove that electric transport does work, even with minimal resources. Along the way, he relied entirely on the help of others: for power, food, a place to sleep… and it worked. 95,000 km, 33 countries, 1 powerful message.

His journey is not only a testament to perseverance, but also a mirror for us all. How do we deal with change? How quickly do we switch to sustainable alternatives? And how can we achieve great goals with limited resources?

His story was an inspiration to everyone in the room. Precisely because it was not about technology or figures, but about vision, courage and trust.

Thank you, Wiebe, for your energy and impact. A message that will stay with us.
